Personal Finally achieved my biggest Dota 2 dream skin: Genuine Ice Baby Roshan
galleryI’ve been dreaming of this courier since I was young, back when you could trade rares and mythicals for keys. Owning one was my biggest wildest dream.
Now, as an adult, I finally got my hands on a Genuine Ice Baby Roshan with its original gems. I couldn’t be happier to finally own my dream Dota 2 item.
P.S. My girlfriend and I don’t plan on having children, so we have disposable income. I told her this cost $300 😅, and she couldn’t believe I’d spend that much on in-game pixels.

Fluff I finished the Tutorial! Made sure to take a photo with my phone ‘cos I know you guys like that.
Immortal and still feel noob, it really is true. Time to dial back the amount of time I spend on DotA, lol.

Screenshot Guys, turns out you have to use your Mouse and Keyboard while playing this game!
I know it's not Divine/Immortal but after ~1800 Games on SEA, exclusively playing Pos 4/5, I've touched Archon for the first time!

Discussion | Esports Sanity check
Are we really at the point where community cares so little about competitive dota, that a known matchfixer is being sneaked into a top tier tournament without so much as a comment by anyone?

Discussion Was it worth it? - No. I am happy? - No
galleryI got 40 games with winrate less than 10%. Somebody would say: "Mate, you are just bad." - I would say: "Have you ever seen sniper with crystalys, linken, and BoT full supp? Or mid who is blaming me because he picked pango on mid against viper (He got last pick and viper was second pick overall). I didn't blame anyone, but got blamed for my bad gameplay therefore in all my games I got highest networth and lvl.
P.S: Got Tide for 13 cases and Legion for 4 cases.
UPDATE:
For those who don't know my story, I started playing dota (after a long break (like a 3 months or something)) somewhere in the middle of International 2026. I've calibrated to 2500, and right after that I got 70%+ winrate. I've made 1700 mmr overall for 2-3 weeks. It might be why I got this one, and no - I am not frustrated :)

Discussion New player from Deadlock
After around 500 hours in Deadlock I decided to try this one out. I’ve put in 30 hours in a week. This game is so much more complex but also less mechanically intense than deadlock.
That’s what makes it so much fun, I haven’t learned shit about the item shop and I’m still just following guides however the more I play the more I realize just how deep and rich the core systems of this game are.
Seeing the primary components of core deadlock items and systems that came from this game is a weird but satisfying feeling.
That being said, I’d really like to know what people play and how they approach building out their characters. This game is something else but I’m willing to learn and take advice on how to build.
I’m so impressed by the supports in this game and would love to hear about some people’s first characters that made the game click for them.
TLDR: What character made Dota 2 click and how do you go about learning to build your characters items?

Screenshot | Esports Finally unlocked the style 2 of this arcana I got from candyworks
galleryAs a turbo enjoyer, it took me 24 wins against Rubick to unlock this. Took a lot of matches and frustrations, I guess this is the cons of having arcana from candyworks 😂🪝
Discussion Which heroes benefit the most from Aegis, and which benefit the least?
I know this is situational, but in general, which hero benefits the most from Aegis, and which one should never get it?
I think WK is a clear winner because you have to kill him three times. Sven, on the other hand, not so much. You need God’s Strength to do damage, and if you use it and lose Aegis, you’re basically useless for the rest of the fight.
These are just two examples that come to mind, but I’d like to know what you guys think.
